[265mercman]

well i was going too the stringers in my boat were fiberglass bout a 8th in thick they seemed to bee made under the the core couldnt really tell so iam just going to put mine on top and make the matting that ties them in run from side to side on the hull then iam going to but something like bulkheads on the side of them i will show some pics when i get them done i got the core done all the way too the dash now took 2 1/2 sheets to get from transom to dash probally 5 sheets all to do the core and i orderd 10 lol well should have enough to do another on lol

It'll work either way. Make sure to wet you laminate real good when you get to that point. You want to see the core right through it. No white looking stuff. Your goin to have that thing done in no time!

[265mercman]

yea i got a few spots thats got some air under it i couldnt get out its harder then what it looks laying that stuff down ..

so this is were iam at i havent forgot about the pics iam going to wait till i get done then post them all start to finish and how i did everything with each picture

need one more coat on the transom... got the core done from the transom too the dash with two coats of laminate and resin .. now i got all the core under the bow laminated down and got one side done letting it dry rite now then will start the other side should be able to start working on my stringers tomm and then finish my transom then get started on the floor a few more good days and should be well on my way to getting her wet again

tearing out the core hard work harder grinding though


transom in and made some copyies of others stringers too tie in too the transom


starting to lay down the core and getting started on going back together


fixed my hole i cut while getting the transom out



so i made some 1/2 all thread that went from the bottom jack plate holes that came up and bolted up to were my splash well was for extra transom support and started on the floor



and the motor back on the floor has some gaps around it but going to put carpet in and coated the wood with resin then going to put cool seal on top of that before carpet to seal it really good



and the way it used to look like which it still does just needs repainted now
